Yes I tried adjusting it I actually had it hooked up wrong at first had positives and negatives backwards but it still put out audio then i fixed the wiring and its the same but it has 2 adjustment ***** for the left and right rca channels I have turned both all the way up and down I tried turning only one up at a time and you can tell that it makes a difference when both are turned all the way up but not much the thing that gets me is I can unplug one rca cable and the output stays the same but it doesn't matter which one i unplug and I know the wiring is right now I have the positive and negative wires off the converter hooked to the capacitor terminals

Turns out the problem was the lineout converter I installed a new kenwood radio and DAMN!!!!! I can see why everyone loves the sa series I have never heard one 10 hit so hard but now that I installed the radio I used the scosche gm3000 interface and the radio works fine but I have no sound out of my stock speakers anyone have any ideas ?
